Which model suits your trip?

Semi-freestanding tents

Freestanding tents

Make sense of the specifications

Headroom: peak height is the tallest point inside the tent. Pole shape and wall angles also affect how much room you have to sit up; the height figure alone does not describe the whole interior.

Freestanding or semi-freestanding: a freestanding inner holds its floor shape with its poles. A semi-freestanding inner needs some corners pegged out to reach its intended shape. Both designs should be securely pegged and guyed out, including the fly and vestibules.

Minimum and packed weight: minimum weight is the lighter quoted tent configuration; packed weight is the fuller carrying figure. Included items can vary by model, so use packed weight as your starting point when planning your load.

Waterhead: the rating in millimetres describes a fabric's resistance to water pressure. It is a fabric rating, and does not measure wind resistance or replace correct pitching and care.
